as the vast majority of quakes happens near fault lines.

Fault lines are fractal. There is no such thing as a typical sized fault. There is no such thing as a region 100% free of fault lines. Some major fault lines are well known, some, especially deep ones, only show up in rare seismic events. Clearly there are all sizes of faults from intercontinental boundaries to a cracked slate paver.
